The Great Book Purge of 2009--Update #3, FINAL

[jon_chaisson]

Still available, listed below the cut! TWO MORE DAYS!

A: Thanks for all who sent their address...I think I have everyone's, but if I don't, I'll let you all know.

B: Chances are I will box the books up over the course of the next few days and try to get most of them mailed on Saturday. I will let you know if I am unable to do so and apologize deeply for keeping you all waiting. :p

C: I'm thinking that this will probably be the last available update and we'll be giving away the remainders to the local library. For those of you who've forwarded the last list's link (say that five times fast!) off to friends, let them know that these are still available until the end of this week, and then they're going away.

Thanks again for playing!

FINE.

[qahawthorne.livejournal.com]

Okay, I have been postponing this -- I was late to the game (pity, because I did miss out on some books I was already intending to buy, ah well!), and then just kept postponing it, because I don't need any more books. BUT I ALWAYS WANT MORE. By the time I saw it, too, there was nothing I went OMG NEED about, but a lot of, hmmm, sure why nots. So I was able to put it off...but sigh, okay, I give in. ;)

(if any other latecomers want any of these, they can have priority, btw)

(And ask Emm if there's anything left on the list she thinks I must read -- beyond the Eddings, i thnk most of these I've not read, now -- as she and I share similar tastes sometimes! For books with enigmatic titles by authors I don't know, I skipped them over, so...!)

The books, THEY CALL TO YOU. :p

Okay, I'll keep the books available, but have them noted if no one else calls on them. :)

[lynxreign.livejournal.com]

I like that you have
Leo Tolstoy, War and Peace
and
Gene Wolfe, Peace
but you don't have a book called War!

[joncwriter.livejournal.com]

War? What is it good for? Absolutely nothing.

[bonniers.livejournal.com]

I thought Scalzi's Old Man's War was on there earlier.
